Learn about a powerful set of tools for debugging HTTP Requests. First we’ll generate requests using Postman, a popular GUI tool for building and organizing requests into libraries. Then we’ll examine cURL and jq, two powerful CLI tools for interacting with HTTP and transforming JSON data.

Learn about a powerful set of tools used by professionals for debugging and communicating about HTTP Requests. First we’ll generate requests using Postman, a popular GUI based cool for building and organizing requests into convenient collections. Then we’ll examine cURL and jq, two very powerful CLI utilities for interacting with HTTP and transforming JSON data.

This is an interactive workshop where you’ll install these tools and generate sample requests, interacting with real-world API’s. We’ll also take a look at the jq query language by transforming and filtering data we receive from API’s.
